Hand Tools

The patented Squids 3001 Retractable Tool Lanyard with Choking-Loop Tool Tether + Carabiner Anchor features a lightweight, low-profile retractable design that limits snags, tangles and tripping hazards. Use the choking-loop tool tether with energy-absorbing cord and tubular nylon webbing to secure to hand tools weighing up to 2 lb, so that your tool is always kept close while you work at heights. Use the carabiner for connecting the lanyard to your climbing harness's D-rings or to some other anchor point. Swivel rings on both ends feature a full 360° rotational range to minimize ergonomics-related hassles. Fixed-length locks with self-setting pawls make it easy to set the desired lanyard length. Set your working length by pulling the ultra-strong Technora cord out to the desired length, and then slightly tug the cord upwards to lock it in place. To retract, slightly extend the Technora cord out a bit further to release the lock, allowing the cord to retract back into its industrial-grade, ABS housing. Modular connecting buckle makes it easy to quickly switch out your attached tool for any other that you have equipped with a Squids 3026 Choking-Loop Tool Tether (additional tethers sold separately). Safety lanyards are an integral part of any fall-protection plan and are used to reduce the risks associated with falling objects to ensure workplace safety. When working at-heights, it’s critical to tether your tools, so do it right with Squids tool lanyards and tethers. Third-party certified to a 2:1 safety factor.

Lightweight, extremely durable Squids 3011 Retractable Lanyard with Tool Carabiner + Swivel Anchor Carabiner can tether tools weighing up to 0.5 lb for full retractable functionality (or up to 8 lb for drop-protection only); and like all Squids Tool Lanyards, its low-profile retractable design minimizes the potential for snags, tangles and tripping hazards. Textured to provide a better grip, its durable, ultra-strong ABS plastic housing is designed to protect the internal workings of the retractable mechanism, and the housing's tapered cord exit limits the potential for debris being retracted back into the housing when the cord retracts. A handy trigger switch on the top-side of the housing also allows the user to easily lock the cord into a range of fixed lengths and/or quickly release the cord to remove tension or to fully retract it. An included aluminum tool-tether carabiner with a double-action, self-locking gate allows the user to quickly connect to tools, and a second similarly designed anchor-point carabiner with a swivel end makes it easy to hook into D-rings while minimizing tangles and awkward working positions. The high-strength, cut-resistant Dyneema cord features a protective sleeve to reduce wear and tear to ensure a long, reliable use life. For added safety, the cord also features a red-colored impact-indicator which is revealed when the system is exposed to forces exceeding 110 lb, to ensure that the wearer is aware when tool drops occur. All Squids Tool Lanyards are built to withstand pre-defined weight limits and make it easy to avoid accidentally dropping objects that could cause unwanted damage or serious injuries. When working at-heights, it’s critical to tether your tools, so do it right with Squids tool lanyards. Third-party certified to a 2:1 safety factor.
